finished my first marathon!

just got back from anjo marathon. am so happy because i ran really well and finished in 2 hours 40 minutes 45 seconds. that was almost 20 minutes faster than my aim of 3 hours!

i also won, which made it even better of course! now my legs feel suitably tired, but i am feeling really good!

thanks to rie, rich & hal, ben & touko and finally peyton for coming to support. the cheering kept me going, as did rie's drinks and peyton's mad dash to get me some pocari! i'll never forget my marathon debut!
